The directors struggled to borrow money from friends and relatives to finance their farming activities, fortunately they got a good harvest and realizes some good returns after selling the agricultural products from which they used to start lending to help their people in the community who cannot qualify to access bank loans at a very micro level.
The start-up of the microfinance was influence by the high level of poverty due to scarcity of the money in circulation, there are many medium and small business communities who need financial support but lacks Financial Support to meet the requirements of the financial institutions registered in Uganda for which the directors were initially victims. Pioneer has come in to bridge the gap between these groups of people.
